Consult your doctor or physical therapist before beginning any new exercise regimen—particularly if you already have a back problem. Do not continue any exercise that causes pain or discomfort.
7. Partial Sit-up
Lie on your back with your legs bent or supported with a stool. Tuck your chin in, cross your arms in a comfortable position and tighten your stomach muscles. Slowly sit up until your shoulder blades are off the ground, hold for 5 counts and slowly lie back. Repeat 4-5 times. Think of this exercise as a spring motion (coiling and uncoiling). Partial Sit-ups strengthen the stomach muscles.
